Absolutely beautiful morning and course condition!

Had a great morning walking the back nine this morning! The course was in excellent condition! This place is a really great course for the price. I know the front nine can get backed up from time to time, but the back nine was perfect!

Great park district course

Wide open fairways , greens were tougher than expected. But overall, good value for an easy course.

Only bad thing was pace was a bit slow, but that could have been the timing- went around 430 pm- which is probably pretty busy especially with Covid

Playing from out of town

Played with daughter and son in law. Well organized and rules provided during COVID-19. Had a great experience and shot one of lowest rounds. Greens were in perfect condition. Pretty flat but enough changes in layout to make it interesting. Wide wide fairways. Which was good for me and my partners.

Don’t ever expect to play fast, even if you’re the first tee time

I booked the 5:20am tee time specifically to cruise and play a fast round; however, they decided to allow people to play 9 holes off the back nine (before 7am only: thus to only impact the golfers who more likely than not want to play swiftly). This isn’t a fancy course, so I understand wanting to permit more players....but they don’t allow the 9 hole people on the back nine to use carts so that potentially slows them (and thus those teeing it up very early for 18) even further.

This course on a normal weekend used to take 5+ hours, thus first tee time was all I was willing to try again. They managed to mess that up.

Worst experience ever

I purposely made my teatime for 5:20 AM so they could be the first one out and get through my brown quickly it took me about an hour and 15 minutes to play nine holes came around played 10 got to 11 and there was a group of walkers in front of me so I skipped the whole went to the next hole to find another group of walkers I didn’t have time so my brown was over at that point when I asked in the clubhouse they said it’s their policy to put walkers hour in front of the carts I will never show up there again. So I paid full price and only played 10 holes

Get Ready for a 5+ Hour Round

Staff doesnt care about pace-of-play. They cram as many tee slots as they can. If you play here, get ready for a 5+ hour round.

Worst Staff Ever

Booked for 2, brought my brother along to simply ride along with me. Since covid is going on, booking 2 people with carts means you get 2 carts. Staff wouldn't allow my brother to ride with me and wouldn't let us play if he came along. Extremely rude and unfriendly golf pro who was very eager to show his power. I'll never return to this course.

Great course for ALL skill levels.

Always enjoy this course. I would recommend being prepared with bug spray when you play here.

So slow

- group in front of us was so disrespectful and slow. Hitting multiple tee shots while we were waiting right behind them. Searching for balls they clearly would not find. Walking backwards to re hit multiple times per hole. No urgency or awareness or respect for anyone else playing. Course did nothing, not a single course employee asked for them to pick up pace or even noticed. Only ended up playing 11 holes in 3 hours. Pitiful. Should get a 50% refund.

Awful experience

I used to go here bc of the location and it’s gotten unbearable over time. Tee times are hardly honored, and you can expect to be at least 20 min behind. The course is never in good condition, the greens are awful. Expect at least a 5 hour round.

I once saw a golfer with no shirt on at this facility. True story. Although that’s not the course’s fault, it goes to show the type of facility it is, and the type of golfer you can expect to be stuck behind....again. And again. And again...

Take the short drive away from the city and enjoy the rounds of golf you can actually find the time to play. Don’t go here.
